Post-update tasks

If you are using the grommunio appliance, some packages may need to be customized depending on your configuration:

The list of known files that may require adjustment is based on the extensions of the configuration files:

1. /etc/grommunio-antispam/local.d/redis.conf.rpm*
2. /etc/grommunio-web/config.php.rpm*
3. /etc/grommunio-chat/config.json.rpm*
4. /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua.rpm*

If the configuration file has been replaced by a package update, the minimum action required is to copy the original configuration file back to its location. It is recommended to create a backup beforehand and restart the corresponding service either via Admin UI/CLI or System Console/ssh:

.. code-block: bash

cp /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua.rpmnew cp /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua.rpmsave /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua systemctl restart prosody
